Is this Possible in Metatrader4?

1. Ok I have a MA crossover signal with audio alert, which i love.
2. It plots up or down arrows and makes a sound.
3. It gives the signal when the bar has closed,

Is there a way I can get it to make a signal in realtime as it happens?

Not at the close or open of the bar, of course I know
that will lead to alot of false signals, but thats exactly what I want. (I don't trade simply following MA crossovers)

If not is there a way one can fool metatrader in thinking that the current price is the close price (Price_close).

I am not a coder but doesn't the last number in the code of the iMA denote whether it uses the last price, the price of the last closed bar, or the price of the second last closed price etc.

ma=iMA(NULL,0,MovingPeriod,MovingShift,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

In this example it is using the current price, not waiting for the bar to close because the last number is a 0. If it was using a closed bar the number would be 1.

thank you that sounds right, i'll test it on monday.

If anything good comes out of it I'll let you know

Hello Phil_GMT,

I have a alert for my ma crossover with arrows but no audio.

How do you get the audio alert?

Or, where did you get your ma crossover indicator with arrows and audio so I can try and get it also?

Thank You,
